This impulse to record and create meaning of the little details and
moments of life—as [Georgia] O’Keeffe said, “to paint what I see”—is
arguably the birthplace of art, and it starts with being awake to the
moments of our lives as they are passing. It begins, in other words,
with mindfulness.

If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place
in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are
truly in love, the state of being love. That’s the entrance to Oneness.
That’s the space I entered when I met my guru.

“When we can
observe our thoughts, emotions and sensations that pass through us
without criticizing or judging them, we gain a great victory over the
mind. We become sovereign over the mind. As such, we begin to have
access to the level of the soul that empowers the spirit. We begin to
perceive ourselves as a piece of the divine. This fragment is not
divided. It is eternal because it is divinity itself. We are given a
glimpse of unity.”
